Quick heads up: Kitten’s installer/downloads will be offline for a few minutes as I recreate kittens.small-web.org (the site that new Kittens are deployed to when they’re born) as it was originally on Ubuntu and sites deployed by Domain are now using AlmaLinux. Also, I am setting Kitten’s API version to 0 (it was initially set to 1) to signal that it is prerelease. When the version is back to 1 it will be because API version 1 is stable.
🎉 Exciting News! The new Ir GEN 2 Series is here! 🎉
Enjoy quality without sacrificing performance or value. The Ir series marries the enterprise-class hardware from Carbon Systems® with the meticulous OS integration and Linux-first support from Kubuntu Focus®.
After hours of calibrating the Mitre saw and almost losing my mind over it, it is done.
No wonder I struggled with this saw. The calibration was maxed out and I had to file the elongated holes in the fence longer to actually get it true. Plus, aligning the blade to the slot first was a real hassle. Eventually made a spacer with good result.
Then it checked out at 90° but not at 45° until I realized this red square had a problem too. You can probably spot it!
When you take the lyrics "would he devote that Sacred Head for such a worm as I?" into your very core as a 5-year-old, it takes A LOT to get shut of that unsightly baggage as an adult.
Even "Amazing Grace": "...how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me...."
Really? I was a child. A baby.
A wretch?
Reprobate & miscreant are some of the synonyms. I was to learn those as well.
None of this is to excuse how they go about being in this world.
None of this is to excuse how I sometimes still go about being in this world. None of this is to excuse my regressions, my poor word choices, my questionable thought patterns.
But it does explain.
None of us can do more than what we have the #tools to do at any given time. When we acquire more and better tools, hopefully we will take more beneficial #actions.
Been tinkering about with rsync to automatically publish static sites. Found out some useful stuff after much trawling of Stack Overflow et al, so thought I’d write it up. I’m sure that future me will find this useful.
It has already proved useful to do this, as I needed a test site to check if a library upgrade to the newest version of the Lume SSG was working. I was quickly able to spin up a completely separate site to check everything worked Ok after I got the basic build sorted and error-free.
Another half forgotten thing done: Crosscut sled for the table saw.
Some floorboard offcuts, two carefully whittled strips for the tracks, a bit of glue to keep them in place before also screwing them on. And two bridges, of course.
Need to find an old candle to rub on the bottom, but test cuts work well enough already.
Not wiggling, but we'll see how the wooden strips do over time - the workshop is a bit drafty and they might shrink/expand.
